[@diehardcowboys]

This is my subjective opinion. Pan’s freestyle technique stands out from the usual styles seen in the past 20-30 years. Unlike the high-octane, windmill-like freestyle or the hybrid style with high elbows and shoulder rotation, Pan's technique features lower elbows and a faster stroke rate. His arms sweep lower, resembling butterfly stroke drills, and his shoulder rotation is less pronounced. This approach allows for quicker pull cycles, consistent elbow angles, and powerful kicks, resulting in less splash and a more hydrodynamic performance. Pan's unique technique contrasts with traditional styles, offering a fresh take on sprint freestyle swimming.

[@clueless485]

Just for good measure, since no western media or youtuber will tell you the full story of what happened in 2021 which led to all this fury, here it goes. In 2021 China swimming association held a national gathering of all swimmers in competitive level in a single city. While the swimmers were there, the Chinese Anti-Doping Agency (CHINADA) tested all the swimmers 3 times during the event. They found 23 swimmers with trace amounts of TMZ in 1 of their 3 tests. They promptly started an investigation which determined that the reason why only 1 of their 3 tests were positive was because all 23 of these swimmers were staying at the same hotel. They checked the kitchen and found trace amounts of TMZ in the meat, in the kitchen countertop and vent hood. All this was promptly reported to WADA. Then WADA did 2 separate investigations of their own which confirmed what was found by CHINADA. So to recap, 1) it was not WADA that did the test but CHINADA, if China wanted to cover it up, they simply could have not reported it at all. No one would be the wiser. 2) The TMZ was found in trace amounts and only in their blood test after that meal. Their initial blood tests were completely clear. No swimmers who stayed at other hotels tested positive. 3) Pan Zhanle, the 100m swimmer and current world record holder, was NOT amongst those 23 swimmers. He was only 16 years old then. This whole thing was not an issue until the NY Times dug it up and made a stink. Then USADA got US congress involved (not sure why since they don't have jurisdiction).

He by no means is a dark horse. He's the world record holder before coming into this Olympic Games but When I watched Live broadcasted by NBC and other English speaking channels, they're all acted that he came out of nowhere. To say this is passive discrimination is an understatement

Yes. In a interview before the Paris Olympics, he said something like he was glad that he had not swam faster earlier, so that others had no idea about his potential. This interview was out only after he won the Olympic gold medal.

Thanks for the professional analysis to let people understand how good he is. Btw, I suggest you check out his Chinese interview. That idiot Australian coach said that the return trip is not possible to be faster. Oops Sorry, Pan has been doing this kind of chasing training all the time. Why? because he always swim faster than others, so he would start few second late and chase teammates for training. He also said there is still room to improve cuz this pool is not easy to swim. He is a humble and very hardworking young man, and he himself believes he will be faster with more training.

His childhood coach emphasize more on kick technique and than in his youth, he was train to swim 1500m, that is probably why his technique is so good compare to other 100m swimmers. We gonna see alot of swimmers copying his technique in the future.

[@swimfan1100]

We should take into account that the dive in the relay is done with more coupling motion, so the entry speed is higher and therefore it's faster than normal start and you carry that speed with you. Still very impressive.

You can not win if you have a self defeating Australian coach like B. Hawke. He has trained them to loose even before entering the pool.

[@crybabyteamo]

Fares, this analysis was beautiful but I'd point out something between Lezak/Barnard in 2008 and Pan's race here - the main reason Lezak was able to draft off of Barnard was because Barnard swam against the side of the lane and the wave came through the lane ropes, and Lezak was experienced enough to see it and take adv. of it by swimming as close as possible to Barnard (2nd 50). In the case of Pan, both Manadou/Pan were swimming in the center of their own lane, and the waves created by Manadou may not have been strong enough to go across the lane rope. You can correct me if I'm wrong.

[@catherinelynnfraser2001]

Pan is a great talent but thank you for detailing the science

Amazing presentation with facts, figures, techniques and historical examples. The human spirit keeps breaking records. It is a matter of time his 46.4 will also be broken. And also some one greater than Usian Bolt will arise and beat his 100 m records. I think we should cut away emotion, politics, race, drug slurs from these athletes and celebrate sports and the human spirit.
